Overview of Ratings

I visited this facility

Parkway Gardens was a super nice facility and very accommodating because they don't have a set time to eat. It's an open dining room. We looked at an alcove. They have a smaller amount of space for each of the rooms. The room we saw had a very large walkway closet and bathroom facilities that looked super nice, complete with ADA requirements like the grab bars, and a nice space for a wheelchair. The facilitator was super nice when showing us the facility. There are only 20 people at the facility, so it's really small. They also have an Alzheimer's/memory care unit that's directly behind them, and that's what we were also looking for. We wanted a place for my mom in case her memory changed, so it wouldn't be hard for her to move from one place to another. We were also looking at any place that would accept her dog, and this facility is pet friendly. I also like the staff, and there is a nurse on-call at all times. I don't think Mom needs that, but if she had changed in perception -- like if she couldn't take her own meds or if it got overwhelming -- I would've picked Parkway Gardens because of the nursing part of it. If you have problems knowing what food is called off of a menu, they will bring you out plates that covered in plastic to look at. They give you a choice through visuals instead of just words. It works really well for people who have lost their speech. The building, cleanliness, and supportive care like housekeeping are definitely a five, but the space itself seemed small.

My client resided at Parkway Gardens and then transitioned to the Arbors, the memory assisted part of the community as her dementia progressed. The staff was very helpful with the transition and provided compassionate care to her for 3 years. I would recommend this community to others with a dementia diagnosis as they were able to get to know her and her needs as her dementia progressed. They provided peace of mind knowing that she could stay in the community as her needs progressed.

I liked Parkway Gardens very much. It's a very nice facility. The staff is very nice, friendly, and very accommodating. The dining room is right in the front. It's small but very nice and clean. My parents would have been very pleased with it. That's all I was looking for: comfortable and clean. It's a small facility, but small is not bad because I think they would get good care there, though it's hard to tell from one visit. It's definitely worth looking at.

Parkway Gardens was a very upscale, very nice environment. The director was extremely good at what she did, and she just really connected. She invited us to bring my father back. We viewed it first without him, and then the director invited us to bring him back and have lunch. She did eat with us, and the staff connected with him. She really made it feel like a family environment. They have some senior activities. It's a small community with only 28 residents. We like a small community better. It's very close to us and close to a nursing home.

About
Parkway Gardens

To us at Parkway Gardens in Fairview Heights, Illinois, assisted living means two things: you do the living and we help you live. Our personal assistants provide what you need when you need it. Here, the emphasis is less on paperwork and more on people. Our licensed nurse and certified medication aides get to know our residents like family, with all of their unique needs and preferences. It's like home.

Dining is a focal point of our residents' day at Parkway Gardens. It starts with an open breakfast with eggs just the way you like them. We accommodate our early risers ready for toast and coffee as well as those who can't start the day without a big hot breakfast. Comfort foods, foods familiar and favorite, are part of our menu.

Our admission counseling services are comprehensive. Our administrator helps guide the family through all of the care options available to them as well as through the maze of paperwork involved with accessing our public long term care benefits. Making it easy on the family is our first priority at Parkway Gardens.

At The Arbors at Parkway Gardens, living with Alzheimer's becomes less of a challenge for you and your loved one. We combine the intimacy of assisted living with specialized care for dementia. The size of the Arbors promotes a comforting, calming environment. With no more than 15 rooms, the Arbors co-exists with a sister assisted living facility, yet remains separate. Care is provided in a building specifically designed with the care of the Alzheimer's resident in mind. We consider each resident's own strengths and weaknesses to weave a seamless cloth of individualized care. We also incorporate the latest approaches to this challenging disease into the daily routines and activities of all our residents. It's difficult to even search for proper care while tending to someone with Alzheimer's. Each day presents new challenges to patients and their caregivers. At the Arbors we offer a shelter of care and advice for the entire family.
